I only just realised that our 21.14 (140) GF score was our highest all season. A sensational case of peaking at exactly the right time.

    Wouldn’t have been many higher scores by anyone all year I wouldn’t have thought

    Our highest scores were the GF, PF, Round 20 and Round 22 shared with round 5.  We scored heavily towards the end of the season.

    I watched the Dees V Bullies first round game on the weekend and I just can't believe just how good Clarry is, he just seems unstoppable.  Weed played a fairly innocuous game but he did get his hands on the ball, he just could't hold his marks, if he had he would have had five or six goals.

    Dont get me wrong , I love watching all the replays but I need some new blood.

    Bring on our 2022 campaign!

    And I think that was our biggest gf margin win ever.

    9.10.64, Clint.  Sounds like 1964 when you say it out loud.

    I always have said that I'd be happy with just seeing one flag. But now I have seen one, I want many more.

    I was watching the replay the other day, surprise surprise and one thing that stood out was how bad the Bullies outfit was.

    Ours look sharp and modern, theirs looks drab and old fashioned, that has to be the worst blue I've ever seen.

    One thing I enjoy very much about D'land is the connection between people who got on board in the Norm Smith era, in the dark years, the Northey years, the Daniher years,  and the dark years again, leading up to now. I like that everyone got on at a different station but we're on the same train ride.

    GO DEMONS!!!

    Been there since the Norm Smith days. I have a very strong heart and constitution to have coped with some of the those years. To some degree 2018 and most certainly 2021 have just about wiped away all memories of the horror years.

    I remember there was a demonlander on here stating that he’d accepted he’d never see another flag in his lifetime. Can’t remember who he was. Really hope he’s still alive

    I think there were quite a few of us who thought that!

    Hmm, my memory isn't great, so I'm not sure whether I actually posted that!

    I reckon half of Demonland have said that at some stage.

    I posted that my dad said it to me in 1965 when the club sacked Norm Smith and he passed away in 2007 at the age of 87 also my cousin who every year since 1965 told me that this will be our year passed away in February 2021 at the age of 82.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
